Watching
Perched. A still eye and a small tilt.
HAAM / CHARACTER STUDY 01
Pääsu.
A small swallow from Estonia
Curious. Resourceful. Occasionally fed up.
Pääsu notices what people miss. A loose thread. A broken step. A good story beginning in the wrong place. Usually, the bird stays to investigate. Keep poking, and it flies away.

THE TURNAROUND
One bird. Three moments.
The silhouette stays recognizable when the mood, direction or season changes.
Bothered
The wing lifts. The eye narrows.
On the move
Those two unmistakable tail streamers.
DRAWING RULES

BEHAVIOUR
A character with boundaries.
Pääsu is interested in how things work, but does not perform on command. It can be funny, impatient and occasionally useful. Its reactions belong to interactions, rather than looping forever.
IN ITS NATURAL HABITAT
One character. Different stories.
The bird already lives on Start. It responds to attention; it never blocks the actual task.
A brief cameo beside the connection to HAAM. The films and their makers stay in front.
The octopus has its own stranger universe. Pääsu visits; it does not replace it.
